i don't understand the mentality behind dropping a youtuber, an idol or a celebrity in general because they are in a relationship now. like you only followed them because you wanted to date them? that's very shallow and very unrealistic lmao.

[@ericp631]

There are a lot of incels on the net and they fill their loneliness through their fandom/fantasies of a chosen figure. I used to date a small time model, but she had a bit of following online, and after some found out that she wasn't single they had a freak out because the reality that these are people with lives and that this is just their job crashed the fantasy they built for themselves of "having a chance"(eventhough they don't actually know each other)
